Wasn't there a recent statistic that showed the two most popular categories were shooters and sports games and while shooters had something like 6-7% woman players sports had less than 1%.

Yeah, stats people can lie too. They don't even have to misrepresent their numbers, they can just make them up.

reminder that gaming was a nerdy thing and op image is prob filled with false statistics like troons

>>712688047
You don't even need to lie, you just need to present the numbers with/without certain context to imply things that don't necessarily follow.

Those are games. You arbitrarily not wanting them to be counted as games doesn't make it not so.

>>712688001
but the wii u hasn't had any games come out in half a decade

>>712689550
should we add people who do the newspaper crossword and sudoku then?

>>712689550
It's fine to count them as games. It's not fine to use them to pretend women play games when talking about rpgs and shooters needing to pander to women.

>>712687685
bots

>>712688581
Ok. It would still be overwhelmingly male.

>>712690056
The real issue is that: if half of gamers are women, then doesn't that mean that women are already finding games that they want to play without being pandered to?

>>712689550
Playing Candy Crush on your phone doesn't make you a gamer by definition.

>>712687563 (OP)
The simple reality is that there are tons of women on the internet and playing video games, but they keep quiet about it because you people are creeps about it. Not to mention how much you were all whining about how women shouldn't bring up their gender unless it's immediately relevant, so they don't bring it up during gameplay but do bring it up when they're asked for a survey, but now you just whine about that too.

>>712690025
No, because they're aren't Vidya. It they're vidya form of them, then yes.

>>712690056
Yes.

>>712690286
By that definition, only PC gamers are gamers.

>>712690286

I don't doubt that but don't be dishonest and present data in a misleading way, especially when it's agenda driven.

>>712688581
If you remove both of those, then the counter would be like 80% male still.

There are a LOT of shut-in "failed girl" types who play games. You never see them because they never leave their house and they never use voice chat. They don't play CoD, they play FFXIV, LoL, and emulate old GameCube games.

>Now remove the data containing mobile """"games"""", computer.

>>712690872
Okay and what percentage of those playerbases are they? You can have 1 million of people doing something and they can still only be extremely rare when looking at the big picture. Even these shut in girls tend to concentrate on certain games and genres that makes it hard to call them "gamers" in a traditional sense because broadly speaking they stay in their niche and don't interact with the traditional vidya industry the way we do.

>>712690280
They ignore this because the ones behind this attempt to "pander to female gamers" aren't actually doing that, they're pushing yet another social engineering agenda while using a convenient politically correct label to deflect criticism from the chuds who notice what they're actually doing.

>>712690482

>>712687563 (OP)
We've already figured this out.
Playing mobile games or logging on to some interactive shit is considered "gaming"
Like 5% of women actually play video games. It's just a male dominated hobby, so they need to make up bullshit.

>>712687685
You noticed that the percentages don't add up to 100, that's because this chart was made by a woman.

>>712688047
Statistics are useless without understanding how they are gathered, and you can use said statistics to promote any message you want

>Men make up 96% of all people in prison, this proves that the police are systematically sexist against men!
>Less than 3% of household accidents are due to fire, so buying a fire extinguisher is pointless

Yes.

>>712687563 (OP)
Everyone considers themselves gamers. Gaming is mainstream and is considered cool now, so everyone thinks they're gamers. Just like how everyone thinks they're geeks because muh MCU and just like how everyone thinks they're weebs or whatever is the anime equivalent because they watched Bleach once

>>712687563 (OP)
Much like any other normie statistic, they're probably not fake nor do they lie but instead they muddy the data. In this case they don't tell you what qualifies as a gamer, and by extension, what qualifies as a (video)game. Kind of like other normie surveys like race but they put indians in 'asian'.

>>712692815

Yeah, I wonder why... Having a voice that deep is too hard to hide unless you use a shittty voice changer or AI.

>>712692685
because those stats don't even come with methodology and dataset.
And it's already known that people fake even the the datasets they publish.

>>712692989
Yeah, that is a strange inclusion when everything else was a match 3, puzzle game, or digital house. Maybe women liked the cutesy art style?

>>712692989
After Candy Crush they have to really scrape the barrel. There probably like 15 dudes that clicked female and they just went "count it"

>>712687563 (OP)
>48%
>of gamers
the problem with these statistics is how do you define a "gamer"?
is my father who plays spider solitaire on his ipad a couple of times a week a gamer? these stats probably include him as one, as hes playing a game, but he wouldn't call himself a gamer, he would say he doesn't play any games.

as many anons have pointed out in this thread, you can lie with stats
I doubt this is the distribution even if you asked every single person on the planet "have you ever played a game"
its very strange when you see companies act on data like this though, as if the people working there, who have a very specific demographic they are marketing to, such as people who will buy $60 (or more) games rather than who have ever played a video game in their life.

They use the broadest possible definition of gamer. By their logic my 70 year old grandmother who plays casual slop on mobile and facebook is a gamer.

Don't they cause enough drama in real life that they don't need to play pretend drama? Also what the hell is interactive drama as a genre, a very specific kind of VN?

>>712689550
People who play these games are just wasting time, they're not "gamers" they do not play actual video games.

>>712693419
that chart definitely predates vampire survivors

A lot of trannies are padding the female stats nowadays, which companies like to trot out. If you point this out you're a neo-nazi bigot. I love it desu, with how much women loved diversity for the past few decades and betraying men, watching them get their spaces taken by their own movement is kino. Like lesbians seething about "girl dick". Also they often like to add in mobile games to games, while speaking about shit like steam and rpg genres. They're obviously games, but the survey and data itself is intentionally misleading, as it should be in a category specifically for mobile gaming.

>>712687618

>nintendo shit bought mostly by adults
it's it targeted at kids and teens?

>>712693074
Well I know like.. 3 or 4 actual girls that will not hop in public voice because the rest of the lobby gets annoying. We'll be in some other voice program talking and I'll use push to talk in game to relay what they are saying.
One of them plays A LOT of ARMA 2. Like we got the game originally for Day Z but for shiggles we hopped into one of the standard games and we both got obsessed. Every time she would use voice she's suddenly everyone's favorite and everyone just has to be in the squad.
I remember this one time she was flying a chopper to ferry people around. It was a picky server where you HAD to be in voice to fly. She stayed quiet the whole time until the chopper started taking fire. She said "AAAA EVERYONE BAIL". Literally the only thing she said. After that everyone tried escorting the chopper or getting in and never leaving the helicopter to just.. hang out? Moral support? Get close to TEH GAMUR GURL? Whatever. Sucked the fun out of it because everyone was more focused on the pilot of some chopper than actually clearing objectives. So yeah. It really depends on the game but I'm the voice for a couple girls because gamers are dumb.>>712693129

Zoomers and under were raised on smartphones so girls do play games now. Mobile games sure but they do play them and it isn't 2009 anymore even cookie clicker has meta now.

>>712693991
It's it indeed, targeted at kids and teens but adults buy that stuff same thing with other media intended for kids but adults are the ones who consume it

How can women be real if i dont know any

>>712688581

Do I count as a "movie guy" if I watch 1 movie a year? No
Same should count for games.
